Thank you for the quote. I actually have the book and have sat down many times to read it, but every time I do I find myself caught up in an issue such as this. I also spend a great deal of time on issues not found on this board. I have a website I am maintain and do research for a book project.

The facts are this; the act of secession has never been proven to be illegal. Neither Lincoln nor any northern state ever said we are going to war to free the slaves. I have asked for citations several times from various people, to date not one legitimate quote or source has been produced. Still I wait.
